The true story of an orphaned Orca.
About the Author:
Penny LeGate grew up in Nebraska, a place with no orcas just lots of cows and corn. Even so, her childhood dreams were of oceans and their captivating creatures. An Emmy award-winning broadcast journalist, Penny found home in Seattle on the shores of the Salish Sea. She is drawn to stories about helping animals or children who are lost or alone. For her, Springer's story shows us that with love, trust, and courage, miracles are possible. And like the First Nations peoples she has met along the way, Penny believes we are overdue to reconnect with the natural world.
About the Illustrator:
At age five, Evan Jones discovered his life's passion when his mother gave him a small set of paints. As a professional artist, he became a master of colorful impressionism and began experimenting with non-traditional painting surfaces. Gritty canvases transformed his images. In fact, he painted this book's illustrations on sandpaper. Evan loves painting portraits but is probably best known for his large murals created for both commercial and residential spaces. Evan loves all creatures great and small and lives on a small farm near Issaquah, Washington.
